Jim Cramer’s 2024 Predictions and His Top 11 Stock Picks

Published on January 13, 2024 at 7:50 am by Fahad Saleem in Hedge Funds, News

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the Jim Cramer’s 2024 Predictions and Top 11 Stock Picks. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article Jim Cramer’s 2024 Predictions and His Top 5 Stock Picks.

Jim Cramer kicked off 2024 with an observation that the market might be undergoing a rotation where investors are taking profits from major mega-cap tech stocks and pouring these profits into the laggards of 2023 like banks, healthcare and consumer companies.

What Jim Cramer’s ‘Crystal Ball’ Says About 2024

Jim Cramer said that according to his “crystal ball,” investors this year would take profits selling “best of the best” and invest in companies that “haven’t gotten respect for ages.” By best of the best Cramer meant the Magnificent Seven group of stocks like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and “richly valued” software companies.

Cramer talked about his early days in the Wall Street where the beginning of every new year would bring excitement and enthusiasm among investors that caused “repositioning” in the market. Cramer said that most of the times this repositioning is temporary and does not have a lot of importance in the long run. Cramer said that some circles believe the Magnificent Seven group of stocks won’t be able to sustain their rally. Cramer said he reluctantly agrees with this notion but long-term investors should approach these sell-offs as buying opportunities.

“A Heck With These Traders”

Cramer predicted that 2024 markets would be defined by what the Fed does about inflation as traders will keep looking over their shoulder for the next inflation report and Jerome Powell’s comments. But Cramer advised his viewers to “don’t be one of those people,” referring to investors who impulsively react to any “utterances” from the Fed, traders, economists or politicians about the stock market.

Cramer expressed his frustration with this short-term, reactive investing approach and said:

“Me? I say a heck with these traders.”

Cramer Says AI and Software Bubbles Will Pop

Jim Cramer said during beginning of every new year investors usually sell stocks that perform extremely well in the previous year and invest their money into beaten down stocks. But that trend changes after earnings season begins and investors come back to top performers of the previous year. Jim Cramer predicted that the artificial intelligence and enterprises software “bubbles will be popped.” But once these stocks come back to reasonable valuations compared to other stocks they will once again be bought, Cramer thinks.

Jim Cramer went through different sectors to weigh options for investors. For the healthcare sector, Cramer said “no thank you” since he believes healthcare stocks do not perform well during election years. For retail, Cramer said these companies are “finally getting their arms around the shoplifting problem” and could produce better returns. For the oil industry, Cramer said “very difficult” since “we produce so much crude in this country” that it’s hard for oil prices to go higher.

Wait for the Sell-Off and Then Do “Some Buying”

Jim Cramer said he told his investing club members that they’ll be “rewarded” if they bought stocks with decent valuations, not dramatically expensive when compared to average S&P 500 multiples. Cramer said investors should be patient and wait for the sell-off he’s expecting and then do “some buying.”

A total of 41 hedge funds out of the 910 funds tracked by Insider Monkey had stakes in GE HealthCare Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GEHC).

Sound Shore Management made the following comment about GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:GEHC) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“That said, current macro factors of higher inflation, rising rates, and a slowing economy are affecting stock prices in the short-term. Against this backdrop, many consumer stocks and financing-based business models declined in the third quarter. For example, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:GEHC) was our largest detractor for the period. A recent spinout from GE, the company is the world’s largest medical imaging supplier with steady growth and higher margins. We purchased the stock in the first quarter of 2023 when it was trading at 14 times normalized earnings, a significant discount to peers. Our research concluded that GEHC’s profit margins were temporarily depressed due to the spinoff and one-time Research & Development charges, and that management’s plan for improvement was credible. The stock got off to a strong start early in the year, but returned the bulk of its gains as higher borrowing rates for their customers created demand uncertainty. As well, 15% of GE Healthcare’s business is from China, where demand has slowed along with the economy. We view these headwinds as temporary, and added to our position during the stock’s recent pullback.”

6. Howmet Aerospace Inc (NYSE:HWM)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 46

Jim Cramer was excited about aerospace-related engineering services company Howmet Aerospace Inc (NYSE:HWM) recently.

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on November 16, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
